Ukrainian-made armored utility vehicles were spotted on the film set of the new Netflix movie. The two Varta armored personnel carriers were spotted with a film crew in Kyiv this Autumn at the film set of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s action-comedy “The Last Mercenary” from director David Charhon.

Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/viral/202010101080733739-pences-fly-becomes-star-of-video-parody-inspired-by-horror-movie-the-ring/ The scene featured in the viral video was taken from the 2002 American remake of 1998 Japanese horror film “The Ring”. The housefly that managed to cause quite a stir online by landing on Mike Pence’s head during his vice presidential debates with Kamala Harris, apparently continues to serve as inspiration for humorous parodies on social media.

Heir to cinema’s body-horror throne, writer/director Brandon Cronenberg triumphantly follows in dad David’s footsteps with Possessor, a grandly gruesome sci-fi nightmare that traces the blurry line between the psychological and the corporeal, the real and the imagined, and the authentic and the affected. Coming on the heels of his prior 2012 Antiviral, it heralds Cronenberg as a formidable talent in his own right, marking him as […]
As relations between the world’s two major economies, the US and China, continue to deteriorate, RT’s Boom Bust talks to Professor Richard Wolff about what’s really going on. “What we’re seeing is mostly posturing by Mr. Trump for domestic electoral votes,” he says, adding that the US president thinks the bashing of China could gain him some kind of support. “This is a way of keeping […]
As cinemas across India remain shut down despite unlock phase 4, the Multiplex Association of India and Bollywood celebs have appealed to the government to allow their re-opening. Since the pan-India lockdown on 25 March, hundreds of people working in the cinemas have lost their jobs, while the movie theatres are facing financial problems. Bollywood celebs Richa Chadha, Anurag Kashyap, Nimrat Kaur Anubhav Sinha, Manoj Bajpayee, […]
VENICE—It took two full hours to stop thinking about Kyle Rankin’s 109-minute masterful mindfuck called Run Hide Fight, named after the mantra kids are taught to remember in order to survive school shootings in America. But the film is surprisingly not really about school shootings. It doesn’t even have an anti-gun slant, and instead opens with a scene of a teenage girl, in mourning over the […]
Netflix has addressed a wave of condemnation directed at its new release ‘Cuties,’ defending the film as a “powerful” social commentary while hitting back at irate critics who say the movie sexualizes young girls. Released on the platform internationally earlier this week, the movie immediately stoked controversy, sending #CancelNetflix into the trends on Twitter as thousands denounced the film for wildly inappropriate depictions of children. After […]

Tesla driver Devainder Goli was watching a movie and using the car’s Autopilot feature this week when the car slammed into a Nash County Sheriff’s Office deputy’s vehicle in Nash County, North Carolina, according to authorities. According to The News & Observer, the crash took place Wednesday, around 13 miles outside the town of Nashville. Although both cars were totaled, no one was injured. However, Goli […]

Though I might like to claim otherwise, I’m no expert on big-screen T&A&D. Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies, however, makes a bid for being the definitive documentary on the subject. Driven by a cornucopia of film clip and talking heads—led by actors, directors, historians and critics—it delivers a thorough chronological timeline of cinematic nakedness. Too bad, then, that when it comes to actually […]
In space, no one can hear you scream—and that’s also true of being in a secret Soviet research facility circa 1983, the setting of director Egor Abramenko’s Sputnik. A clever riff on Alien (and its sequel) that generates solid suspense from assured formal touches and a story that only succumbs to heavy-handed gestures at a few key moments, it’s a capable horror show that, like its […]
For a movie that bills itself as a “grindhouse PizzaGate satire,” there’s precious little grindhouse or Pizzagate in Duncan, the new indie thriller from Austin writer-director John Valley. But it is a satire. A shockingly effective one. Duncan levels its weird, Texas-tinged gaze on profiteering, conspiracy-peddling mass media—your Alex Joneses of the world—and cracks them wide open. “The movie’s about a guy out of his depth […]
The night after he joined Mary Trump in mocking her uncle Donald’s ridiculous boasts about supposedly “acing” a cognitive test meant to screen for dementia, Stephen Colbert opened The Late Show with a new trailer parody. “A story of one of the most good minds of his generation,” the host said in his best “In a World…” voice, as five words appeared on the screen over […]
Like so many before me, I was recently trumped by Trump. I’m not the first, and I certainly won’t be the last, but I think I can at least lay claim to one novelty: He spoiled my movie. Well, not exactly spoiled—but he certainly gave away the premise when he “inspected” the White House bunker a few weeks back and then made headlines doubling down on […]
Movie chains, including AMC Entertainment, Cinemark and Regal Cinemas, are seeking an injunction against Gov. Philip Murphy’s phased reopening schedule unless it allows them to reopen. Source link
There’s horror in old age—the sort no one wants to think about, or look at, or discuss. It’s in that uncomfortable truth that Relic locates its greatest terror and, in doing so, delivers deep, gnawing dread that lingers long after its credits have rolled. The feature debut of Japanese-Australian filmmaker Natalie Erika James, who co-wrote the script with Christian White, Relic (premiering at drive-in theaters on […]
Our feature film, Followed, which I wrote and helped produce, was supposed to open in over 300 traditional theaters across the country weeks ago. COVID-19, however, put the kibosh on that dream. It was to be my first screenplay to see national distribution, too. When I learned our movie would be released in drive-in theaters instead, it felt like another twist of the blade. I wanted, […]

HBO Max has abruptly deleted ‘Gone With the Wind,’ widely considered a classic in American cinema, after screenwriter John Ridley called for its immediate removal, arguing the film “romanticizes” slavery. The 1939 film, set on a southern plantation in the aftermath of the Civil War, was removed from the HBO Max platform on Tuesday, with the company explaining that it depicts “ethnic and racial prejudices” which were “wrong then and […]

Movie theaters can reopen in the US state of California on Friday if county officials give approval, California Department of Public Health announced in guidelines issued on Monday.

Earlier this year, a Facebook post spread like wildfire through the Texas film community. It was the account of a young actress, alleging that Adam Donaghey, a rising producer in the region, had raped her when she was 16. Donaghey, who has denied the allegation, was subsequently arrested in late April on suspicion of sexual assault of a minor, and is currently free on bail. The […]
From the moment it first debuted in 2000, Center Stage reigned supreme as the ultimate sleepover movie. Now, two decades later… it still does. On Tuesday, Center Stage celebrates 20 years as a cult classic. Critics savaged the film when it first came out—but everything they hated seemed to have the opposite effect on teens across the country, who lapped it up. After all, how could […]
